The exhaust steam to be condensed enters the low-or portion fiol' the condensing chamber from tho pipo P and lows ziround thcbowlslnipod onlur goi'iiont 11; and thence passes inwardly and upwnrdly into the uppor portion 2 ol' tho condensing clnnnhor where it meets the wnlcr passing; downwardly tlicrethrough and is condensed therchy. By arranging tho strum inlet so that it enters the bottom of the condensing: chamber, I avoid the use pipe ' of tho (ll)l)\' which is generally employed for connecting; the sicznn pipe with the side of tho condensing; chnniher and thereby greatly reduce lhc friction of tho steam and the amount of work required of tho cxl'niustcr. Tho condensing wider together with the condensed strum ilows directly int'o the bowlslmpod onlnrgr writ of the tail pipe and is provonlod l'rom pus-sing downwardly into the steam mp0 8. I

in tho modi'lir-iition shown in Fig. 2, the construction is in general the same as that shown iirl ig. 1 oxropt that the steam pipe 8" enters the lowor portion 8)" of the condensing; chumhcr ztt one sido ol the center, and tho tnil pipe it) enters snid clnnnhcr :Li] lhc opposite side, the howl-shaped enlargement 123 within such chzmihcr being of cocentric instead of concentric fornr The operation ttlill advantages arc substantially the some as thosc of the construction shown in Fig. l, except that this modification has the added udvnntngc ol' greator compactness sinco the sic-inn inlet pipe SHind-the tail pipe (2111 he nrrrrngod closely together and eX- tcnd upwardly underneath the condensin chamber. in this form of my invention have itlSO shown the water deflector 6 as provided with n. plurality of relatively small po 'i'ornrions l As above stated, I do not limit myself to any particular construction of the upper portion of the condensing chamber nor to the means therein for breaking up the water to bring it in proper contact -with the steam,

2. A barometric condenser of the countercurrent type having its condensing chamber formed with an enlarged lower portion, a steam inlet pipe opening into such enlarged portion at the bottom thereof in :L vertical direction, and a tail pipe also entering such enlarged portion at the bottom and to one side of the steam inlet pipe and terminating in an open top enlargement; substantially as described.

3. A barometric condenser of the countercurrent type having a condensing chamber formed with an upper portion provided with a Water inlet and. with water deflecting argement substantially means, and a lower enlarged portion, at steam inlet pipe entering the bottom of such onlerged portion in a vertical direction, and a tail pipe at one side of-thc stezun inlet pipe and having a. bowl-shaped enlargement at its upper end Within the enlarged portion of the condcnsiiw chamber, the bowl-shaped enlergement being of greater diameter than the diameter of the upper portion of the condensing chamber; substantially as described. 1 A barometric condenser of the countercurrent type ha-ving its condensing chamber enlarged at its lower portion, a steam inlet pipe connected to the enlarged portion of the condensing chamber, and a tail pipe at one side of the steam pipe and terminating at its upper end in an open top enlargement within the enlarged lower portion of the condensing chrnnbc r; substantially as described.

In testimony whereof, .l have hereunto set my hand.
